Unconstitutionality of the Tax Sales.
A ease of considerable importance has
iest been decided in the Third Jud'cirj
(i limit, by Juige John T. Ureen, in
.rhiv-li the recent ect of the Legislature
"to provide a summary" mode for
purchasers of lands at tax "sales being
put into possession," is declared unconstitutional
aud void. The circumstances
of the case, as given by the Charleston
Ntw*, are as follows: Certain lands
of Mrs. Kate McMillan and others were
sold for taxes in June, 1872, under the
oct of 1*72, and were purchased by
IiOuLs Jacob?. The first owners of the
property, through their attorney, S. W.
Maurice, E-,q., made application to
Julge Green for a prolrihition to restrain
ti o sheriff from proceeding under the
act A tcmpoary injunction wasgranted,
which, after argument, was made perpetual
and absolute by a formal decision.
The argument of Mr. Maurice was
very exhaustive and complete. His
main points were as follows : That the
act of 1672, under which the sale was
made, is a "bill for raising revenue,"
:.iwl originated ia the Senate instead of
the House of llepresentatives, as required
by the Constitution of the State.
That the act is unconstitutional, because
it rHutcs to more than one subject, and
th.ar<the.subjects are not expressed in
thtf title. That the effect of the act of
1873, as w jil as that of 1872, is to deprive
the citizen of his property without the
judgement of his peers or the law of the
land. That the act of 1872 undertakes,
upon its fitoc, to amend a repealed statute.
That the same act, upon its face, authorizes
only the sale of forfeited: lands,
whereas the land was sold as delinquent
land, and hence the sale was void for
want of authority. The point was also
mado that a tax deed, if for delinquent
lauds, must be sealed with the private
seal of the officer who executes it. If for
forfeited lands, the title to which is iD
the Government, then it must be in the
fir ui, and'possessed of the characteristics, '
of a grant under the great , seal of the
State, signed by , tlie Governor and
countersigned by the Secretary of State.
Other grounds were taken in the argument
of the counsel, but the court, without
euteriug upon the consideration of
those, granted the injunction, upon the
broa'i principle, uia ?ow? w- dww
Constitution, (article I, section 14,)
"that no person shall' be arrested, impri.-'ored,
despoiled or dispossessed of
bis property, immunities or privileges,
put <ut of the protection of the law, cx*
i!oJ or deprived of his life, liberty or
estate, but by the judgement of hb peers
or the law of the land."

&ajt* A Chinese paper is to be started
in Han Francisco. Wc have placed it on
our exchange list. Of course this necessitates
the learning of another language
by our loci1, lie is already conversant
with three, English, Irish and Scotch, but
h is no objection to adding to his linguistic
acquirements. He has hunted up all
the accessible text books on the 'celestial
tongue. They eonsist of two tea boxes
from Geo. Watcrhouee, the covers of
seven packs of fire crackers from Mrs.
Morelli; two willow patcrn plates from
J. Apple; a letter of Horace Greeley,
written duriug the recent campaign and
a tac simile of the autograph of dtufus
Choa'. With these he will be ready
to translate all the current news of Hong
Kong arid Pekin and steal the jokes, to
be found in our new exchange.
Sale of Forfeited Lauds.
The comptroller gcucral has decided
th.it forfaited lands cannot be sold at the
treasurer's sales for a loss amount than
the penalties and taxfcs. The sale of 1872
i held to have been a special sale, at
i iiich they cculd be sold to the highest
bidder. As many wiles were made ut the
r 'cent sale in this county for sums very
much lc.-s thuu the taxes and costs the
question as to their legality is now raised.
Wo cannot sec how the auditor can deli?
cr deeds for them.

The"Assessment for 1873.
A* new assessment of the real and pcrwmI
property of the state will be made
this year. Our county auditor gives the

pic the importance of making prompt
ami fill! returns. Especially should they
l?e careful to bound their lands properly, i
If this were generally done a large ]
amount of land which has always escaped
taxation would be discovered. We tbiuk
our auditor sincerely desires te get up a
c Ji ioct duplicate this fall. He can do so <
ii he is aided by the well di8}>oscd citizens.

A Silver Wedding. :1
Ob Thursday evening last a large ^
number of friends assembled to celebrate 4
the twenty-fifth' amieversary of the '
marriage of J. C. Mayo and his wife. 1
The happy couple bore the congratula- 1
tions of their, friends with becoming
confusion^ just as though only a quarter :
of an hour had elapsed, in stead of a 1
quarter of a century, since the ceremony ;
had been performed. The following
poem, by H. 0. Judd, was read! by J. 0.
Thompson:
TIME'S RAVAGES.
'Ah me!' said she, and s ightly sighed,
"Surely I'm growing old j
These tresses once my joy and pride
Bleud silver with their gold.1''
r
"TUmnlfH where eunid'hcld his court.
And whence he shot hts arrows,
Time ruthlessly^?or is it sport ?
Is plowing with his harrows."
"These eyelids had a tender way
Of droopihg a* wflh passion ;
A trick that on! jr vwrtb can -play,
And age finds out of fashion."'
"A rose-bud month they said was mine,.
Inlaid with seedling pearls,"
A casket held almost divine
By all?except the girls.
But even pearls grow dim with years?
Strangely, with constant fretilng?
"Mine, after much of pain and tears
I've saved, by golden set ing.,'
"This chin, round, firm but delicate.
No feature was so charming
In early days?sadly of late
Its fullness grows alarming.
"Swan like" they termed my fair white throat.
With Juno's bud and shoulders,"
I tear "passe" would be the vote
To day of all beholden.
But neither age nor time can steal
My heart, still warm away;
Who stole it once I shan't reveal!
It ne'er came back?to stay.
And for a score of yaars sad more,
With children round m? growing,
Breams of the halcyon days of yore
Have seemed less bright or glowing.
And I'm consent tho' youth has fled,
And beauty too has faded,
That winters that have bleached the head,
The heart have not invaded.

NUMBER TWENTY-TWO
BY J. A. J.
"A Nation loving gold murt rule this place,
Our temples ruin, and our htcs deface."
t' Dbyde.n
The good people of Beaufort, having
been advised of the sailing of the hostile
fleet for Port Royal, very naturally to<?k
counsel together as to the course to be
pursued by them, in the event of the reduction
(now, no longer doubtful,) of the
batteries at the entrance of the harbor.
It must be borne in mind that almost the
entire male population was away? nearly
all being at Buy Point, where orders
had been given prohibiting leave of absence
to any one; and from which point,
retreat, in case of disaster, was thoughtimpossible.
Tho people in town were
thus thrown entirely upon their own resources,
as well in the matter of advisability,
as of practicability of removal. It
is welt known that several (few however,)
were in favor of remaining; but thev
were so largely overruled, that their
oounsels were of no avail; a small number

the purpose of welcoming the invaders ;
but, compelled by circumstances growing
chiefly out of conciderations of comfort
and convenience to themselves. Nor was
it couiectured, that on the approach of
armed soldiery, the retirement of women
and children, would be construed as a
voluntary resignation of their estates into
the hand of said soldiery; least of all,
that it would be deemed a political ofTcncc
meriting the forfeiture of whatever might
thus l?e lefl by the retiring non-combatants.
It had been customary for families,
at their pleasure, to go abroad, entrusting
their interests and their effects
to the care of faithful servants, not having
a thought that, by so doing, they should
in any wise, invalidate their rights. Indeed,
it has been the practioe of modern
times to notify nor* combatants 'of intentions
to shell, in order &c., that they
might retire. These, anticipating bombardment,-and,
by no- means, sure of
the customary notice, ^retired without
awaiting the usual fbrm. In this was
found the great offence.
Tidings of the arrival of the fleet in the
waters of Port Royal, not only set at rest
the question of destination, but of ultimate
result. The anxiety already existing
iu Beaufort, now much enhanced by confirmatory
intelligence of the maguitude of
the armada ; and the presence, too, of a
fine steamer ready to take all who might
desire to go, added to the exhortations
and entreaties of those about to leave,
soon moved the feelings ot the few who
proposed to remain-, aiad a general
stampede ensued
When the troops from Bay Point, including,
of course, the Beaufort Artillery
reached towu on Friday, they found it,
already, almost deserted. Lieut. Johnson
had remained on the island, directing
the transportation to St. Helena,
until after midnight, and, with T. B.
Chaplin, had returned to Trenchard's
Inlet, before daydawn, in search of
Exhausted and missing men. lie did
not reach Beaufort till sunset on Friday.
Landing at i'i ? foot of Carteret s\, (now
Bennett's dock.) he looked in vain for
one living- creature, human or other,
throughout the length of Bay st. Walking
up as far as the Arsenal, then turning
down Craven, to Fast St., hr did
not meet one porson until he hud nearly
reached the bridge on Federal alley.
There he encountered two German
mechanics, who informed him of the
time and manner ot the citizens departure.
They also were just about todcavc,
on foot. Tlic name of one citizen has
been mentioned, who did not leave town
until Saturday *; and I kuow two others
who, having led it, revisited it ou that
day.
From this brief narrative it may be
learned that the abandonment of the
tow a was complete, and that it was
xcoomplishod under the advice and
lirection of our elder citizens only, the
poungcr men, as mentioned shore, being
ibseut on duty. There is no evidence of
iny military order compelling the ovaouation
of the place; but many declare that
they left under the oonviction that there
was such an order. It is a matter of no
sonsequenoe, as such an act had neve^
been deolared unlawful, with or without
inch order. -The right to k$ve one's
swn, at pleasure; has always been uninestionable.
